During a long weekend with a bank holiday on Thursday and lots and lots of sunshine and a lovely visitor from the UK, it isn't really a good time to get sewing. The garden was calling for some attention and we were happy to give it, its due. After three days of gardening enough was enough and we (Rachel and May) had a look in the sewing room instead. Soon we found a sadabandoned project from last year - a bears paw.

Manchmal lohnt sich Gartenarbeit:-)Who can resist roses like this?

Auch ein kleiner, eifriger Gartenhelfer hat mitgewerkelt :-)We had some help from a small friend digging holes in the garden...

Letztes Jahr im Januar hatte ich mir Bears Paw Blöcke in zwei Bees gleichzeitig gewünscht. Ich wollte einen Quilt für Freunde in Finland nähen. Sie haben die Wände im Gästezimmer mit blau/gelben Stoff tapeziert und ich denke, die Stoffe für den Quilt werden sehr gut da reinpassen.Last year in January I had the honour of being queen bee in two bees and I requested some Bears Paw blocks. I'm making a quilt for some friends in Finland. They have wallpaper (actually it is fabric) in blue and yellow, so this one should go well with the rest.
